Custom Metal Carports for Atlanta and Cass County

Atlanta is a town of about 5,400 people in Cass County, about 65 miles from our manufacturing plant in Kilgore, Texas. Severe thunderstorms and high wind roll through every spring and summer. We build each carport from galvanized steel with Sherwin-Williams coated panels, so your cars, trucks and boats stay out of the weather.

Every carport is built to your measurements. Choose the width, length and leg height, then add side panels, gable ends or color-matched trim. A vertical roof sheds rain and debris fastest and carries the strongest wind rating, so it is the style we recommend here. We can anchor to a concrete slab, or install on level ground with auger anchors if you don’t have a pad yet.

Check with the City of Atlanta about permit requirements before you build; we supply engineered drawings for the application. Our crews serve Atlanta and the surrounding communities of Texarkana, Marshall, Mount Pleasant and Pittsburg. Most installs take a single day, and financing is available.

Local guide

What to Know Before You Build in Atlanta

Local weather, permit rules and the parts of Atlanta our crews cover, so you can plan with no surprises.

Weather and Climate

Atlanta gets typical East Texas weather: heavy spring storms with high wind, hail and tornado warnings, plus long, humid summers that are hard on anything left outside.

Winter ice storms, like February 2021, can bring down limbs and put weight on a roof. A vertical roof sheds rain and ice best and carries the strongest wind rating.

Permits and Setbacks

  • Inside city limits: plan on a building permit from the City of Atlanta. Cities set their own rules for carports and accessory buildings.
  • Setbacks: placement, size and setbacks depend on your zoning and lot.
  • What to bring: a site plan and the engineered drawings we provide.
  • Outside city limits: Texas counties generally don’t issue building permits, but floodplain rules and HOA or deed restrictions can still apply. See our Texas permit guide.
  • Questions: City of Atlanta, (903) 796-2192 (main line).

Rules can change. Confirm with your city before you build.
